"The ancient testimony of the people called Quakers, revived, by the order and approbation of the yearly meeting, held for the provinces of Pennsylvania and N. Jersey, 1722"--P. [145]-163, with separate title page

"Which containeth a true and faithful account of the principles and doctrines, which are most surely believed by the churches of Christ in Great Britain and Ireland, who are reproachfully called by the name of Quakers; yet are found in the one faith with the primitive church and saints, as is most clearly demonstrated by some plain Scripture testimonies (without consequences or commentaries) which are here collected, and inserted by way of answer to a few weighty, yet easy and familiar questions, fitted as well for the wisest and largest, as for the weakest and lowest capacities ... To which is added, the ancient testimony of the said people, revived."--T.p
